Is that guy in the youtube video from 7/11 really a former JW elder?
He was actually videoing while driving?
What about the airplane with the banner saying jehovahs-witness.net or jwfacts.com etc?

Writing campaign to Washington DC papers in view of International Convention
by Londo111 inive heard from a credible source that the landover (dc) international convention is important to the society in view of the 100 year anniversary of "kingdom rule" and the location being near the capital of the "seventh world power".
perhaps they hope this particular international sends a message.
we know that come convention time usually there is some feel good fluff piece in the newspapers about the watchtower religion.

If you had the audience of the GB, what is your #1 question you would ask them?
by Darth Fader The Sequel inthere are a million of them and mine is by no means the most important question to ask them if i only had one shot at it.
but, i have always wondered what kind of bs excuse they would give as an answer to this question: "brother goober bum, given that there are both male and female partakers here on earth who claim to be of the 'anointed' and plan on being of the 144,000 ruling with christ in heaven for eternity........ why are the female 'anointed' treated as submissive, second class citizens and why is their opinion on doctrinal matters, matters of teaching and reproving, anything at all.... why are they not recognized while here on earth even though you claim that jesus has selected them to become angels to rule with him?

The one about the house to house work, he mentioned about the Mormons not doing house to house in favor of going on the internet. Then says that it is the biblical way. As if those in the Bible had the choice of using internet vs house to house.

Checkpoints are constitutional by the US Supreme court, but several states declared them unconstitutional by their state's constitution.

If provided to other Witnesses, they may choose to download rather than go and then not going means not contributing and lower attendance, which is the reason why they don't want it distributed.

If it weren't illegal...

she had a couple of dogs.
then he related that she said that all she had to do was get rid of the dogs.

I then thought that, if it weren't illegal, COs would encourage JWs to get rid of their children.
What other things would they do if it weren't illegal?

The safest, best answer to give is: Lately there have been so many breakin of houses and rapes, that I'm afraid that going door to door will cause others to think that we are a threat so I am afraid of that method.
They may suggest, business or phone or mall.

How is the org really run? What goes on behind the scenes?
by Magnum inhow is the org really run?
what goes on behind the scenes?.
i just read an older post on this site that was recently bumped (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/6600/1/don-adams-biography) the post mentioned the adams brothers don, karl, & joel and how influential they are/were at headquarters.

The GB are merely figureheads. When it was announced that magazine printing will be transferred from Wallkill to Canada, it was said that the GB approved that. What does the GB know or care about where magazines are printed? When I asked Witnesses that they said that the GB was the FDS and the printery was part of the master's belonging so they were appointed over it. But the fact is that the factory overseers make the decisions and then the president of the WTBTS approves it and the GB rubber stamps it.
As to who runs the org: The captalization on the belief that it matters to God what people do and they must do things 'just so' makes it easy for people to come along and then to assume the position of the ones capitalizing. 'Hey there are gullible people out there who will do anything to save themselves, to see their dead loved ones, etc.' People are so tied to the adherance to a deity, they will do anything for that.

Your final WTF? Moment!
by restrangled init was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

Another moment for me was when the COs got the mandate to not write their own outlines for their talks but started using recycled assembly talks.
The meetings became ultra tedious. What was once a special week now became recycled drab and guilting material. If COs can't be original, then what hope can any of us. What's the point of this at all. It is just an indoctrination session from the GB.
